Coming In 08'
 

Its a "Danny-Type" lure......it will not be called a "Danny" but it is one! (Name is forthcoming) 6 1/4 inches long and 3 ounces. They will be available with eyes and "blind"! They will be available with 2 belly trebles and a dressed siwash or just 1 belly treble and 1 tail treble (which is how I prefer mine).

They will be available in a rainbow of colors.......and will be limited!

looking good larry

single belly, siwash in wonderbread for me please


what color are you calling that black one.......that is insane

Just black w/scales Jim! I will do that wonderbread for you Jim! :bounce:

Limited run BF?

pssst. call it 'the Larry' :hihi:

they look nice :D

Yup! Limited! I find the "Danny" a tough sell.....there are a few good ones out there. However I have had a few folks request these so I have been working on getting them just right....and they are. So we will see how they sell, and how folks like them.:btu: My numbers figure to be less than 300 available for the season.

2 wonderbread here Larry. Is there a limit per order ? I'd like 4 total if available.

wow pretty sweet larry...

Larry, those look awesome......I'll have to pick up a couple too.

Can I ask a dumb question?

if so...

why not call a danny a danny??? :huh:


copyright issue??.. if so.. has it been tested lately?

at this point in time, i think it refers more to a style of swimmer... than anything else.... and more than one lure company sells dannys...


just wondering.. while i'm eatin my lunch...

Larry I'd love to get my hands on one of the black w/ scales! They look awesome!

Hi Karl.....I probably missed you on your lunch hour? Anyway...in answer to your question about the name. Dennis Ryan who owns Gibbs approached me at the RISSA show in March and nicely asked me not to use the "Danny" name......claiming they owned the rights to it, blah, blah, blah! Now I know alot of people make them and they all call them "Danny's"......and I doubt if any of them were ever approached and I also doubt that Gibbs owns the name.......but I like Dennis and he asked me as a gentleman so.....whats a guy to do? They will be called something else.....obviously they are "Danny's" and I will refer to them as "Danny-style" lures regardless. You can't please all the people all of the time!:tooth:

very nice!
 

It amazes me that Danny's are such a tough sell - they are my favorite plug to fish.

See you at RISAA :)

Larry, those are beautiful. MAKE ANY IN PEARL WHITE?:D:rotfl:

Great name but what about "Danielle" or "Flat top"

thanks for the answer Larry :D

they look nice.. even if ya gonna blind them ;)....

Pearl?......But of course!;)

Maybe not that they are a hard sell as there are many different builders who make them and I need to test the market before I go too crazy! Its hard to get fishermen to try anything new!

Thanks Karl!:poke:

that isn't exactly true , just post some pics on the internet with the plug in some slobs face. I think it's partially true the not knowing if it works part and the too cheap to shell out some money part if they already have something that works.

anyway, I like Dennis, he is a nice guy.

good luck Larry, you have good paint skills.

Give some away they will get tested then :wave:

You should sell them just fine, everything I own with a Bigfish name on it has worked so far, you can count me in for a pair when they are available. I know you test your designs enough for me to even worry about it.

Or a "ralphie":bl:

I told you guys this a long time ago. They trademarked the "word mark" only which was the drawing of the word.

Larry - save two for me please ... colors - I'll take one in Wonderbread and not sure for the other, probably the black with scales ... but hook set up same as you ... one treble in the belly and siwash in the back.

Thanks,
Andy

As for the name ... have you considered ...

Y-N-N-A-D ? (pronounced "E-Nad")

Larry..I got a

beachmaster DANNY
Mac DANNY
Lupo DANNY
Pickney DANNY
RMS DANNY
and other's who sold them on the open market...I think gibbs went fishing and you took the bait...my .o2.

Gonna chime in one more time, and apologize in advance for the "Left Turn" your thread took Larry...
But.. this whole thing to me, would be like if Ford told the other companies, you can't call that a pick-up truck, or if Chrylser sadi, no one else can call these mini-vans...
Danny's, Pikies, Danny's, Needlefish, Spook's, Darters.. etc.... the name tells a type.. a design..a certain action.. something we all know what to expect it will do... call it Larry, Curly or Moe, but if it's a Danny.. it's a Danny!

Peace :D

Larry,

looks good. call it what YOU want to. What ever you call it, put me down for a black scale and a wonderbread.
